    Most of us know at the moment piratecraft is a spiders nest of alliances. This is because whenever a decently good crew or person dominates the server everyone bands together to defeat them. Let’s use an example as the first thing that caused this. Hardtimez. Now from what I heard hardtimez dominated the server until a bunch of crews teamed up to defeat him. In a desperate last attempt to keep control he used hacks getting himself banned, now unlike what mostly should of happened, people splitting up again, the crews thought to themselves “hey! All these allies are great to have” and LoN was formed. Making the largest alliance on the server and forever tying the server in a spiders nest of pointless alliances. This has happened every time a threat has showed up. CoV was the next big one. This crew absolutely dominated and was barely affected by the “alliance monster” as I will call it. Eventually they dispersed and even MORE alliances were left in its wake. Now from what it looks like the allying on this server is like a drug. The more you do it, the less helpful it is, and the more you ally random people for a false sense of power.

    aliances mean nothing unless they are helpful. Let’s take a prime example of BE. They are allied with almost everyone on the server and only 2-3 actually help them. The rest just sit on their hands and leech off the BE. I don’t know why in gods name BE thinks this is a good idea. And there’s a bunch of other crews that do this as well.

    i think we should fix this. The only way to do this is with the help of the server. Leave the empires! Invite your friends and make your own crews! Break alliances that have no point! In my opinion 1 REALLY strong alliance with another crew is better than a few loose ends with 50 crews. Get this server back into motion. I always had a fear of getting attacked while building but the thrill was exhilarating! It kept me on edge and taught me to be vigilant. I miss those times! Who’s with me?

    P.s. From what I’ve learned in the past there’s a 50/50 chance I’ll be swarmed by the pointless alliances in the end of this. Prove me wrong piratecraft. Show me you got what it takes to support yourself.

    Yes! This is why I declared war, it’s pirate craft not princess craft, I want to kill more people, but nobody can actually be bothered fighting back. The only one that has is CHASE DILLON! You guys need to step up your game, if Chase can do it so can you.

    Ironic

    well said alli. it bothers me to see why larger crews choose to ally everyone they can.. a crew as large as the BE, or EE should be more than capable of taking care of themselves. having a few good allies is better than the 50 loose end ones alli mentioned. if an alliance is only one way, you need to reconsider it. if they are leeching off of you, and aren’t helpful in any way, are they worth keeping? why is there so much fear in fighting? when one person shows up for a 1v1, the opposite side tps 5-10 people to fight back. …why? .-. BE actually has a few decent pvpers, they should be able to handle one or 2 lonely pirates w/o the help of half the server.

    fighting and defending used to be fun. nobody has the balls to attack, and everyone is too sh1t scared to come out of their boxes to defend. “oh they’ll raid me and take my stuff!!!” no they wont/cant if you lock the chests.

    people need to stop being so scared of a little conflict, stop making friends with everyone, go out, have some fun! be pirates, like browe, be a headhunter like dagersh once dreamed to be, be a silent assassin like chamberlain, be something other than a cowardice scrub hiding from any form of conflict. doesn’t even matter if youre bad at pvp. practice makes perfect!! wen I joined this server, I sucked at pvp. I practiced. almost daily. I got better. not hard to put some time in to spar with someone.

    If I had a nickel for every time I, Ooo hey, a butterfly!! *runs off chasing the butterfly*

    regarding multi-alliances: you may be trying to compare it to real-world alliance strategy, which is not going to work on this server (not without leadership courses in political science & govt). it’d be great if… yeah, that’s not gonna happen. i am more than willing to discuss the principles of statecraft, and help create a more solid foundation for alliance building. but what we’re seeing here is the evolution of  server politics, sometimes so slow it’s boring. i do agree with your metaphor of a “spider-web of alliances”. it is complicated (like the real world), but unlike the real world, the level of rationality is at a far lower standard here (mainly because most folks here don’t know much about politics & statecraft). that being said, (as leader of a two-person crew further adding to your issue), i want two things: 1)not to give up my position as leader of my own crew & 2) to choose allies very carefully to avoid complications.

    My Advice: this might be a good time for some of you bigger, more organized crews to collect taxes. force crews & leaders to make decisions. fine them heavily in tariffs, failure to pay results in death and heavier taxes. smaller crews may be willing to submit. of course this means that if you want something done, you personally will have to take action. create a working government & economy. or request to gods & co. to make a change.

    adapt & overcome

    @OdiwanKenobi to be fair, you did leave your acquaintance to die your death, however thanks for the compliment, bottom line is, alliances are for times of war, many alliances show you are either a war mongering bunch, or have a very complex plan to create an ultimatum situation where there is peace or the entire world is at war, and with piratecraft it is in a weird limbo situation where it is more to, as alli has said, show power, this also applies to inactive crew members as well, they may not do much, but they make you look like you have numbers so you keep them, it is equivilant to an animal’s hair standing up to make it look bigger. However, as many may know, the government roleplay is a vital part of the server’s culture, and for me at least was a major factor in making me want to stay, the complete removal of empires and governments is very improbable, if not impossible, and would turn away and upset many players. As i have always said do not limit your choices, crews and civil government can co-exist on this server, but not to the extreme it is today. Anyway, thats just my 2 sense.

    seeing governments and having “functioning” ones is quite amusing. I wouldn’t expect to see those removed. what does bother me though, is that they don’t roleplay the demand of urge to spread world peace. I honestly believe that a lot of the bigger empires truly want a peaceful server where pvp, raid, and siege is supposed to be encouraged and a norm for daily life/playing on the server. roleplaying government is amusing, it means pirates can roleplay as… well, pirates!! actively pushing for server peaces and trying to actively abolish pirates and piracy and all forms of conflict isn’t exactly healthy. a pirate server needs it pirates, but it also needs people to fight against them for balance. honestly, the server needs to find that balance between pirates and empires. more pirates to fight against, and fewer empires that just wanna hold hands and frolic in the daisy fields like besties.

    in short: empires have gotten soft and are too friendly. dump some useless allies, don’t be afraid to say why. another problem is some groups have become very arrogant, and stuck up about their power they think they have or their abilities they claim to have to demolish other groups. to save drama, I will not mention specifics, but there are a number of people that fit this description. imo the stuck up ones need to tone it down, have some fun, and try not no be so arrogant towards others. or act like they are the most powerful by self nominated means.

     

    my 2 cents ^

    I believe that the server should start hating eachother again, send spies into eachothers crews. Join the Verussia war! Do something! Alliances actually suck. I want to be able to kill whoever I want that’s not in my crew when I join some crew. But crews like EE have the whole server as their allies and I go a bit anxious and feel like ripping up grass. I need to see action, I’m itching for it. Someone make an OP crew and be real jerks about it, cause us to fight! Send spies into eachother’s crews, make sure you can trust nobody except irl friends and it’ll make crews more interesting, who can we trust? Who can we not?

    Shelock Holmes out!

    I do have to agree here. When it comes to a battle, like that awesome one outside of London, only the major allies help. EE and the BE have always stood together, and recently, apple has become a trusted friend. VIK are also beginning to prove their metal. But many other crews that we’re allied with, well, don’t.

    I’ve argued for ages that the BE should leave the LoN; we even put forward a request to do so; although, nothing came of it. I hate the tangled web of alliances more than anyone, because ultimately, people like me in the larger Empires end up fighting on behalf of some deckies, risking gear and wasting time supporting people who I know wouldn’t give me a block of cobble, should I ever have need for one.

    Purging some of these ‘one way’ alliances would be a godsend, and would actually help make the server more ‘piratey’, which is something I think we all want. Good idea alli 🙂

    This is nothing but a pure radical propaganda speech.

    This server would drop blank dead if empires were to vanish which would never happen so get over it.

    The empire’s are like the honey bees which keep the circle of life in tact. The EE and BE were made for balance.

    Empires and pirates are meant to have fueds which keeps the constant flow of PVP!

    The Elven Empire has shrunk in size but power recently increased as well as building. We have certain allies and are really not open to new ones currently. When the Elves went to the grey havens 2/4 of our allies ended with nations/tribes/ loyal pirate crews to the empires cause.

    Overall you pirates do what you do best! Be insensitive beings who just wants there plunder! At the end of the day you will see a Royal Navy looking for a fight.

    Mother and soul protector of the Elven Empire
